Herzog: Starved child was saved from the brink of death

Minister of Welfare and Social Services Isaac Herzog on Thursday lashed out at the "lies" being propagated by "publicists" and "irrelevant elements" as to the circumstances behind the arrest of a woman suspected of starving her young child. "We all understand that what happened here was that a child was saved from the brink of death," Herzog told Israel Radio. "It is the utmost obligation of a state and of the police…to save him."
